Looking for an arcade machine placement service in the UK?
Boutique Party Hire supplies, installs and manages commercial arcade machines in suitable high-footfall venues across the UK.
Rather than purchasing and operating an entire arcade machine fleet yourself, qualifying venues can discuss long-term commercial machine placements, including potential revenue-share arrangements.
We can install arcade machines into:
Installations can range from one carefully selected machine to a complete commercial arcade area.
Our commercial arcade machine placement service is designed for venues wanting permanent or long-term entertainment rather than temporary event hire.
Depending on the opportunity, we can assess:
Venue Footfall
Available Floor Space
Customer Demographics
Opening Hours
Existing Entertainment
Machine Visibility
Location
Potential Number of Machines
This allows us to determine which machines and commercial arrangement may be appropriate.

Use your real installations heavily on this page.
Good examples include:
Large Multi-Machine Installation
Machines Inside Bowling Venue
Ice Rink Installation
Hotel Games Area
Racing Machines
Basketball Machines
Arcade Cabinets
Wide Venue Shot Showing Multiple Machines
Avoid leading with day-hire product photos displaying event prices. The page needs to look immediately like a commercial arcade installation business.
Every venue is different.
A pub may only have space for one or two machines.
A hotel might have an unused games room.
A bowling centre could potentially accommodate ten or more machines.
A large leisure destination may have enough floor space for a complete arcade.
We therefore assess each opportunity individually rather than offering exactly the same machine package to every business.
Commercial arcade machines can represent a substantial investment.
Buying your own equipment also means taking responsibility for:
Machine Purchasing
Delivery
Installation
Repairs
Maintenance
Payment Systems
Machine Selection
Replacement Equipment
Technical Problems
A commercial placement arrangement can provide an alternative for qualifying venues.
Suitable high-footfall venues may potentially qualify for a revenue-share arcade machine placement.
Under an agreed commercial arrangement, machines can be installed into the venue and income generated through gameplay shared according to the agreed terms.
This can potentially allow the venue to introduce commercial arcade entertainment without purchasing the entire machine fleet itself.
Learn more about our Arcade Machine Profit Share & Revenue Share service.
Profit-share arrangements may also be available for qualifying locations.
Commercial suitability can depend on:
Weekly Customer Numbers
Venue Type
Machine Position
Available Space
Opening Hours
Customer Demographics
Location
Existing Entertainment
Installation Size
Not every venue will qualify.
Certain qualifying commercial opportunities may be suitable for an arrangement that reduces or removes the need for substantial upfront machine expenditure.
This is particularly relevant to venues that already have:
Strong Footfall
Good Customer Dwell Time
Suitable Entertainment Space
Long Opening Hours
Good Machine Visibility
An Appropriate Customer Demographic
Send us information about your venue and we can assess whether a commercial placement may be suitable.

Socialising
This can make suitable bowling venues particularly interesting for larger arcade installations.
Pubs can potentially accommodate selected commercial games such as:
Boxing Machines
Pool Tables

Entertainment-led bars can potentially use arcade machines to increase their range of customer activities.

Competitive games can work particularly well in social environments.

Ice rinks create natural customer waiting periods.

Reception
Cafés

Family entertainment centres can potentially support substantial arcade installations.
Machines can complement existing activities such as:
Bowling
Soft Play
Trampolines
Mini Golf
Laser Tag
VR
Climbing
Food & Drink
The arcade can become another major attraction within the venue.
Soft play venues may use arcade machines to provide additional entertainment for:
Older Children
Teenagers
Parents
Siblings
Birthday Groups
Waiting Families
Suitable family-focused machines can complement the main soft-play offering.
Arcade machines can provide additional entertainment before and after trampoline sessions.
Potential machine locations include:
Reception
Waiting Areas
Cafés
Party Zones
Family Areas
Entertainment Areas
Cinema customers frequently arrive before their screening.
Arcade machines can provide entertainment during this waiting period.
Suitable areas might include:
Foyers
Food & Drink Areas
Waiting Zones
Family Areas
Leisure Complexes
Large multiplex locations may potentially support multiple machines.
Shopping centres can offer significant footfall.
Potential arcade locations include:
Vacant Retail Units

Entertainment Units

Restaurants with an entertainment-led concept may also be suitable.
Potential games include:

Basketball
Racing
Pool
Reaction Games
Boxing
Suitable machines can provide customers with entertainment before or after eating.
Tourist attractions can potentially accommodate machines around:
Visitor Centres
Cafés
Waiting Areas
Family Zones
Indoor Entertainment Areas
Exit Areas
Strong annual visitor numbers can make these locations attractive commercial opportunities.
Student unions, campus bars and university social venues may be suitable for competitive games such as:
Boxing
Basketball
Pool
Racing
Air Hockey
Reaction Games
Arcade Cabinets
Strong evening footfall can be particularly relevant.
Depending on the venue, suitable equipment may include:
Excellent for head-to-head competition.
Fast competitive gameplay with broad appeal.
Particularly suitable for selected adult hospitality and student venues.
Strong two-player entertainment for family and leisure environments.
Compact classic gaming suitable for many different venue types.
Quick high-score challenges.
Useful for family and entertainment venues.
Can provide additional variety within larger installations.
The final mix should be selected around the venue rather than simply installing whatever machines are available.
Some venues may only require a single machine.
This can be particularly relevant for:
Pubs
Bars
Smaller Hotels
Restaurants
Waiting Areas
One well-positioned machine can provide a useful starting point.
A compact installation could potentially include:
Basketball
Reaction Game
Arcade Cabinet
or
Racing
Air Hockey
Basketball
The exact combination depends on the venue.
Five machines can create a meaningful games area.
A possible mix could include:
Racing
Basketball
Air Hockey
Arcade Cabinet
Reaction Game
This provides customers with several different activities.
Larger high-footfall venues may potentially accommodate ten or more machines.
At this scale, we consider:
Floor Layout
Customer Flow
Machine Visibility
Payment Systems
Power
Maintenance Access
Machine Mix
Venue Demographics
The games area can become a significant feature of the venue.
ADD YOUR LARGEST INSTALLATION PHOTO HERE
Substantial commercial venues may potentially support much larger installations.
These opportunities can be suitable for:
Large Bowling Centres
Holiday Parks
Family Entertainment Centres
Shopping Centre Locations
Large Leisure Destinations
Tourist Attractions
The available space and commercial opportunity need to justify the installation.
Suitable commercial machines can potentially use cashless payment systems depending on the equipment and installation.
This can allow customers to pay using modern electronic payment methods rather than relying entirely on coins.
Cashless systems can be particularly useful in high-footfall commercial environments.
Contactless payment can fit naturally into venues where customers already pay electronically for:
Food
Drinks
Tickets
Activities
Accommodation
Retail
Suitable machines can potentially be configured around a modern cashless environment.
A commercial arcade placement requires ongoing management.
Depending on the agreed arrangement, this can potentially involve:
Machine Supply
Delivery
Installation
Payment Systems
Technical Support
Maintenance
Machine Selection
Performance Review
Machine Rotation
Future Expansion
The exact responsibilities depend on the individual commercial agreement.
Machines operating in busy commercial venues can receive heavy use.
Appropriate maintenance and technical support can therefore form part of the long-term commercial arrangement.
Keeping equipment operational is particularly important during busy periods.
Different games can perform differently depending on the location.
Performance may be influenced by:
Machine Position
Customer Age
Venue Type
Opening Hours
Visibility
Seasonality
Machine Type
Customer Dwell Time
Commercial machine selection should therefore be based on the individual venue.
Where appropriate under the commercial agreement, machine performance can be reviewed.
Different machines can be better suited to different environments.
For example:
Boxing Machines — Bars & Student Venues
Racing Machines — Family Entertainment
Basketball — Leisure & Family Venues
Arcade Cabinets — Hospitality & Mixed Audiences
The aim is to create the strongest machine mix for the location.
Already have an arcade area?
We can discuss whether additional machines could complement your current setup.
Send us:
Current Machine List
Photographs
Available Floor Space
Weekly Footfall
Customer Demographics
Venue Location
We can then assess potential additions.
Operate multiple venues?
We can discuss commercial opportunities across several locations.
This may be relevant for:
Hotel Groups
Pub Groups
Leisure Operators
Bowling Operators
Holiday Park Groups
Family Entertainment Operators
Hospitality Groups
Each location can be assessed individually.
Purchasing arcade equipment outright gives you ownership but also responsibility for:
Capital Investment
Delivery
Installation
Maintenance
Repairs
Payment Systems
Machine Selection
Replacement Equipment
Ongoing Management
A commercial placement provides another route for suitable venues.
A placement arrangement can be different from simply paying a monthly rental fee.
The venue typically pays an agreed hire charge.
The arrangement can potentially be structured around the individual commercial opportunity.
Revenue generated through machine gameplay can form part of the commercial agreement.
The appropriate structure depends on the venue.
Commercial machine placement is separate from short-term event hire.
Event hire is intended for:
Corporate Events
Christmas Parties
Exhibitions
Brand Activations
Private Parties
Temporary Functions
Arcade machine placement is designed for venues wanting equipment installed for an extended period.
Any day-hire prices displayed on standard event product images should therefore not be treated as long-term commercial placement pricing.
